FAQs
Is this vest machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend using a gentle cycle and following the specific care instructions on the garment label.
Can I wear this in heavy rain?
While the vest is seam-sealed and features Helly Tech Protection, it is designed for sailing spray and light rain. For extended heavy downpours, a full-length waterproof jacket is recommended.
Does this vest have internal pockets?
The primary focus of this design is the external fleece-lined pockets for warmth and hand protection.
Is the material stretchy?
The fabric is designed for active movement, though it is not a high-stretch material. It is cut specifically to allow for full range of motion while performing sailing tasks.
What is the benefit of the mesh lining?
The mesh lining facilitates air circulation, which prevents the inner fabric from sticking to your skin and enhances the overall breathability of the vest.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading up.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may be wearing off. Tumble dry the vest on low heat or apply a DWR spray treatment to restore water repellency.
Sweat buildup inside the vest during high activity.
Ensure your base layer is made of synthetic or wool moisture-wicking fabric rather than cotton, which traps moisture against the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment does not require special setup but functions best when used as part of a layering system. Pair it with a moisture-wicking base layer to maximize the effectiveness of the breathable mesh lining.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle in warm water. Use a technical garment detergent if possible.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting to help reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) coating.
- Maintenance: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the waterproof membrane and breathability features.
